About The Expanse (novel series) in brief
The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels by James S. A. Corey and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole. The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. A ninth novel is planned to complete the main series, as well as one more novella after the final novel. All of the novels and five of the novellas have been released as audiobooks, with Jefferson Mays as the narrator for all novels and the noveas The Vital Abyss, Strange Dogs and Auberon. Each chapter is told from the point of view of a character central to the story, while the prologue and epilogue are told by a recurring character or a one-off viewpoint.
The Expanse was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The expanse. After Syfy cancelled the TV series after three seasons, Amazon acquired it and began to stream it on Prime Video for an additional three seasons. It has been observed that there are similarities in the political and social setting of the series to Alfred Bester’s classic science fiction novel The Stars My Destination. Ty Frank has also stated Ridley Scott’s Alien as having the single largest influence on The Expane. The novels are written in third-person, with the writers meeting weekly to discuss upcoming chapters for the other to edit. James Holden is the only character to be used as a viewpoint in all eight novels.
